Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 201 Xiao Zhao's Companions, the Development Plan for Beishang Township (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

In the end, Dan Yu, who couldn't catch up with Latias no matter what, came to beg Ming You to finally get Latias to delete the video of the other party dancing the kibu. As for whether there was a backup, it is unknown.

The orchard that was damaged in the battle last night was cleaned up and tidied up by Quan Quan Xiong and the others this morning when Mingyou was not home. The damage was quite severe.

Fortunately, there have been fewer orders these past few days. If we still have stock, we'll ship it out. If we don't have stock, we'll just have to refund the customer and then give them a 20% discount coupon at a loss.

Mingyou started out doing business at a loss, so he's very good at it. This time, he got the right to use the area around the manor, including the lake, from the administrator, so he can use many cards that had nowhere to go before for planting and cultivation.

Danyu and Wuli stayed at the manor until after dinner before leaving. They even went to the arcade for a bit. Their car leaves the day after tomorrow morning, and they have to pack their luggage and prepare tomorrow, so they won't be able to come back.

After that, Mingyou returned to her daily routine, cleaning and organizing the day's orders. After finishing her work, she would take a look at the back of the manor.

Because the ice on the lake was broken, the Pokémon living inside that were hibernating couldn't sleep. But they couldn't find food in winter, so Xiaozhao rode on the back of the Grimmsnarl and fed them.

Although the memories of the Fiends haven't fully returned, most of her memories have, and she can now fully recall that they were her Pokémon.

Mingyou walked over alone, greeted her, and then came to the shore. As the Dark Tail Black Fish approached, many Savage Bass followed, recognizing the other as their leader.

Xiao Zhao jumped off the Dark Tail Fish onto the shore, waved to the Savage Bass to say goodbye until tomorrow, and then looked at Ming You: "Have you finished cleaning the house? If not, I'll help you."

"Everything's taken care of."

As he spoke, Mingyou waved to the Youwei Xuanyu behind him. At that moment, a ball of blue particle light suddenly appeared from the other party and gathered into a card that floated in front of him...

[Ghost Tail Blackfish (lv10): After using it on a Water Chestnut Seed, the species changes to Ghost Water Chestnut Seed, and it learns the following moves (Waterfall, Brute Force, Grave Sweep, Impulse Wave, Psychic Fang, Self-Sacrifice, Double Headbutt)]

"Water chestnut? What kind of fruit is that again?"

Mingyou doesn't recognize all fruits, so she specifically searched for them and found that this thing is grown in water and needs a warm and suitable climate environment, but mutant crops can be grown in any environment.

Just as he was pondering how to better cultivate them, Xiao Zhao reached out and touched the head of the Dark Tail Fish, saying softly, "Three more are needed!"

"Um?"

"My companions who came with me are a Tyranitar in its Emerald form, a Brave Eagle in its Emerald form, and a Giant Sneasel."

Including the Moon Bear, the Ghost Tail Fish, and the Mysterious Horned Deer, this team was the one Xiao Zhao used to defeat Arceus's clone and pass the test in another world. Of course, she also contributed her own efforts.

Although it's unclear why the Poké Ball turned into a Strange Ball, the fact that the Deer and the others have appeared in this world means that the remaining companions must be somewhere waiting for her to come!

"So, are you going to go look for it next?"

Mingyou asked with a smile.

Xiao Zhao nodded earnestly. Although the world was so big, she believed that bonds would connect them and guide her to find her companions.

Seeing this, Mingyou smiled calmly: "Then I'll help too. I'll find them all; it's a promise!"

"Mmm~ Together!"

……

A day quickly passed, and the Beishang Township poisonous sticky rice cake incident began to escalate. Many tourists involved in the incident left after receiving compensation, saying they would not come back. Some tourists who planned to come during the last few days of the holiday also chose to go to other places.

Ms. Officer Jenny also became involved in the incident, and many media outlets flocked to the scene. Mingyou naturally couldn't escape being interviewed and investigated, but before that...

Danyu and Wuli are leaving today. Both of them are carrying luggage and are saying goodbye to everyone in front of the bus. The holiday of more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

As a thank-you gift for Taijingzhu the day before yesterday, Mingyou also prepared a gift for Wuli.

"Let's open it and take a look."

"Um……"

Wu Li, her face full of anticipation, took the gift box and began to unpack it, while Dan Yu watched curiously from the side.

Upon opening the gift box, a Rotom cell phone came into view. Uri stared in disbelief, then her expression shifted to surprise and delight. She exclaimed, "It's the latest Rotom model, the big tail style!"

Looking at the new Rotom phone, Dan Yu quickly turned to Ming You, gritting her teeth and shouting, "That's so unfair! Why didn't you give me one?!"

"How old are you? Xiao Zhao said you're two months older than me. I'm already being kind by not asking you for one. Besides, Ah Li doesn't have a Rotom cell phone right now, so it's really inconvenient for him to contact his friends at school."

Mingyou spoke earnestly, then looked at Wuli and said with a smile, "How is it?"

"Yes, I like it very much!"

"Haha, make lots of friends when you get to school, and remember not to let your sister steal your phone."

"What do you mean?!"

Danyu was instantly furious, gripping her hair tightly as if it were about to be ripped off.

Wu Li smiled and nodded. He had completely adapted to his new look, appearing more mature and full of fighting spirit than before. He then raised his head and shouted back, "I will!"

"Uh-huh."

Watching the siblings get into the car and leave, Xiao Zhao sighed softly, feeling a strange sense of melancholy. Then she looked at Mingyou and said, "It suddenly feels so lonely. After I leave at the end of the month, you'll be all alone. Won't you feel lonely?"

"How could that be? I have Ponpo and the others with me, and besides, I still have a lot to do!"

Mingyou responded with a smile, saying that the economy of Beishang Township now depends on him to save it, and he was already thinking about how to make Beishang Township change.

"Let's go home."

"Um."

Over the next few days, Mingyou bought many new saplings and seeds online and planted them around the manor. He didn't clear away the damaged fruit trees, but instead let Pengpeng use the power of the emerald stone slab to bring them back to life, and finally succeeded in saving them.

Replanting would be too costly. These fruit trees have already been used with cards many times. Currently, they are yielding more than half of the A-quality fruit, and there are also some mutated fruits. We simply can't eat them all.

A week quickly passed, and with the end of the holiday, the heat surrounding the poisonous sticky rice cake incident in Beishang Township finally subsided, but the damage to public opinion was probably irreparable, and some residents were preparing to go out to work and earn money.

Baoban Plaza has become a thing of the past, and it has now been renovated into Ponpo Plaza.

Where the Treasure Companion statue used to be, now stands a Ponpo statue, holding a green grass mask, standing there to suppress the frozen Peach Blossom and the three Treasure Companions below.

However, the economy of Beishang Township has been severely affected, and not many people are willing to come here for a walk anymore. Ponpo's statue can only stay here alone.

But this is only temporary. What does the damage to Beishang Township's reputation have to do with Mingyou? He has been posting vlogs of the manor all day long by piggybacking on Qishu's traffic, asking for reposts. Now he has more than 100,000 fans on Pokemon TV.

This did indeed attract a lot of traffic to the shops on Salted Fish King, and he plans to make use of it for the development of Beishang Township.

However, in the short term, at least until the hype surrounding the toxic sticky cake incident completely subsides, it will likely be difficult to monetize this traffic. As for the future, it's simple, because the internet has no memory.

And just like that, the end of the month arrived quickly, with only one day left until their birthdays...

The news about this had already spread throughout the manor, but this time it didn't tell the two of them and specifically instructed Latias and the others not to tell anyone.

Everyone secretly plotted against Mingyou and Xiaozhao while they were doing other things, wanting to give the two a surprise.

"Mmm~"
